Week of November 20-22

During this short week, the 3rd graders focused on the importance of analyzing data in order to make informed decisions. Now that we've looked at movie ratings and profits, we must figure out what this info tells us about each studio so we can make an informed decision about where to work!

The 4th graders worked on their carnival games. They made the games are slightly unfair, but they made sure that this won't be obvious to the players. Then, they played their own games to determine the experimental probability of winning and losing (see below)!

Some 5th grade classes continued to work on getting their game elements to move, while 5c learned a new datatype that will help keep these images onscreen. This datatype is called a Boolean. It performs a test and evaluates to true or false. Some examples of functions that produce Booleans are: <, > , =, and, or. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!!!
